Mitochondrial metabolism of pyruvate in bovine spermatozoa.
Treatment with the polyene antibiotic, filipin, renders the spermatozoan cell membrane permeable to small molecules, but not to the intracellular enzymes aldolase and lactate dehydrogenase. Pyruvate (10 mM) as the sole substrate was metabolized very slowly. L-Carnitine increased pyruvate metabolism 3- to 4-fold and allowed limited rates of oxidative phosphorylation. When spermatozoa treated wit...
متن کاملThe metabolism of pyruvate in bull spermatozoa.
1. Sugars present in nectar secreted by twelve species were separated on paper chromatograms, and quantitative determinations of the amounts of glucose and fructose were made. The total sugar content of each sample was measured with a refractometer. 2. The proportions of glucose and fructose varied greatly in nectar from different species. 3. For any one species, the proportions of the differen...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of TEX101 in Bovine Epididymal Spermatozoa
Several studies exhibit the presence of Ricinus Communis Agglutinin I (RCA) binding glycocalyx in mammalian spermatozoa. However, the molecular characterization of RCA binding glycocalyx in sperm membranes and its mechanism of action are poorly understood. The objective of the study was to identify and to characterize RCA binding glycoprotein of the bovine sperm plasma membranes (PM). Lectin bl...
متن کاملBovine cyropreserved epididymal spermatozoa viability after incubation by different periods of time in IVF medium
The recovery of epididymal spermatozoa, their cryopreservation and posterior use on IVP of bovine embryos, has become an important tool to store genetic material from animals that have died unexpectedly or that have acquired reproductive inability. The present study aimed to evaluate the viability of spermatozoa from epididymides after their incubation on IVF medium supplemented or not with hep...
متن کاملCollection and freezing of equine epididymal spermatozoa
The first report of a foal born after artificial insemination (AI) with frozen/thawed semen, more than fifty years ago, was the result of insemination with epididymal spermatozoa (Barker en Gandier, 1957). Ever since, reports have confirmed pregnancies and/ or births after AI with epididymal semen, which proves the fertilizing capacity of epididymal semen (Morris, 2002; Monteiro et al., 2011). ...
